  7. Abstract:
  8. One of the main methods to reduce fuel consumption and emissions is using renewable energy resources. This research proposes a hybrid renewable energy system on a container ship which includes one photovoltaic solar system, and one kite system. The photovoltaic system produces a part of the ship's electric power consumption and the kite system produces propulsion force using wind energy and transmitting this force to the ship through towing rope. Different components of these renewable energy systems are connected with the internet of things technology. In the internet of things structure design section, in addition to the conceptual design of different layers with emphasis on the processing layer, an application is designed using MATLAB software for gathering data, data analysis, and displaying output. This application simulates renewable energy systems on a 2600 TEU container ship for a specific route from Bandar Abbas to Shanghai. Based on the results of this simulation, the photovoltaic system can provide 9.9 % of the electric power load of the container ship and can save 1.1% of total fuel consumption. CO2 emission also reduces by 1.24%. The kite system provides 24.65% of the total propulsion force and reduces fuel consumption by 21.68% and CO2 emission by 24.13%.
